I caught up with a few Rotarians as they were getting ready to leave the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok, Thailand, and asked what their favorite moments were.

Glen MacGillivray, a member of the Rotary Club of Petawawa, Ontario, Canada, said:

“The House of Friendship has been amazing. I’ve met an awful lot of people with shared interests and different interests. People who could help us with what we’re trying to do and us help them with what they want to do. We’re a small club. It was nice to be a part of something bigger. And hearing Muhammad Yunus was a great thrill. It’s a big reason why we came.”

“The opening plenary. All the excitement and enthusiasm was there. As a first-time attendee I was amazed at the internationality of the convention. I loved seeing the RI president and the Thai princess. I learned a great deal here.”

For me I was
Inspired by a young Australian Hugh Evans who opened the Plenary Sessions with his passionate plea to make poverty history and to continue the push to End Polio Now As an Australian I was extremely proud that a young Australian has such a passion for changing the disadvantages of those less fortunate than ourselves

The opening plenary season was a bomb! I enjoyed every moment spent in d house of fellowship! I made new friends around the world!
